I've been interested in lucid dreaming for quite a while, and now that I don't sleep on a futon anymore I'm staying committed this time. I drink lots of water before bed and have a pretty gentle alarm set to a classical music radio station. I've tried using alarms and keeping and alarm set to vibrate in my sock but if I use the same alarm a few times I get used to it and it becomes pretty ineffective. I started actually practicing my dream recall again about 2 days ago and have remembered about three dreams. The problem I have is that when I wake up, then relax and close my eyes to recall the dream, I can never keep myself up long enough to remember much before accidentally falling back asleep By the time I realize that thirty minutes ago I was trying to recall my dreams I've forgotten a lot. Any tips on keeping yourself awake enough to wake up, close your eyes and try to recall the dream, and write it down when you wake up? Thanks!
